# Jina Reader

> Converts any URL to clean, LLM-ready markdown.

Converts any URL to clean, LLM-ready markdown. Best for extracting readable content from web pages — article text, documentation, product pages. Unlike Serper or Brave which return search result links, Jina Reader returns the actual page content. Use jina\_search for web search.

2 example endpoints available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [Jina Reader API docs](https://docs.jina.ai) for full documentation.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>

<Info>This is a **catch-all provider** — any valid URL under `https://r.jina.ai` is supported. Reader API: GET [https://r.jina.ai/\&#123;url\&#125](https://r.jina.ai/\&#123;url\&#125); or POST with \{"url": "..."}. The endpoints below are curated examples.</Info>
